Connections
A connection provides the reliable transport connectivity between Diameter nodes.
You can perform these tasks on an Active System OAM (SOAM).
- Can use the SCTP, TCP, TLS/TCP or DTLS/STCP protocol
- Can be configured to initiate or respond to a connection to the Peer Diameter Node
For a given Peer Node, one Connection can be configured for each local IP Address/Transport/Listen Port combination. For example, if there is a Local Node that supports two IP Addresses then you can configure two SCTP Connections for the Peer Node - one for each Local Node IP Address and Listen Port.
- Filter the list of Connections to display only the desired Connections.
- Sort the list by a column in ascending or descending order by clicking the column heading. The default order is by Connection Name in ascending ASCII order.

On the page, you can add a new Connection.
The does not open if any of the following conditions exist:- There is no Local Node in the signaling Network Element (NE) to which the Connection can be assigned.
- There is no Peer Node in the signaling Network Element (NE) to which the Connection can be assigned.
